Founded in September 2024 and owned and operated by Yuzu Group Incorporated, Korata is a casual dining restaurant concept offering traditional Thai Chinese dishes in a modern contemporary setting. With a name that means 'Effortlessly Thai', the blend of old‑school comfort food with modern design has propelled Korata to local acclaim.

Ambience at Korata has a bold modern aesthetic. Larger wall murals in bright energetic colours, warm lighting, and modern furnishings exude a stylish feel, and the long narrow dining halls across 4 levels offer a sense of intimacy. The 3rd floor boasts a karaoke entertainment system, suitable for private functions. The background music is pleasantly unobtrusive, allowing for easy conversation.

Service at Korata is attentive and thoughtful. Staff thoughtfully offer seasoning adjustments when taking orders, demonstrate good product knowledge when explaining menu items, and check in on the dining experience without being obtrusive. They clean up quickly when diners leave, and can converse in English and Thai. A well-deserved reputation for personalised service.

Food at Korata is classic Thai Chinese cuisine. The high‑quality ingredients, consistently well executed taste, and visually appealing presentations, are evident in each dish. The kitchen on the 4th floor churns out dishes only on order, delivering it via a small food lift. Portions are sized for communal group dining. Prices are befitting a restaurant, budget about THB ฿820 / SGD $32 per person.
